“I was challenged to study with determination to achieve my dreams.

I was able to dive into different subjects until deciding what I would major in university. My advisor was really helpful in facilitating my academic exploration and pointing me toward the disciplines that best fit my skills and interests. I owe it to them that I was able to make an educated choice and choose a major that I really like studying.”
